Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation
True love begins with pity
Next morning...
While other people relax while enjoying their time off, Elena actually spends time delivering food orders from her friends.
Elena went to deliver the food by riding her bicycle. It's tired, but it's better than walking.
After delivering several orders, there was now only one order left.
Skips
Arriving at the address listed on the paper, Elena finally got off her bike and she rang the bell of the man's house.
When the fence was opened, Elena was shocked that this house was Austin's. He did not expect that all this time Austin his son was a friend of his mother.
"Loh! how come you're here" astonished Austin.
"I'm taking orders." Elena gave the plastic bag containing the cake to Austin.
"Whose order?" confused Austin.
"Mother you."
Just as Elena was about to leave, suddenly Austin immediately withdrew her hand.
"It's been paid?" ask Austin.
"Not yet."
"Why rush off?"
Finally, Austin tells Elena to enter the house and meet her parents.
"Well, this is an order" Adrian said while putting the plastic bag on the table.
"Wait a minute Elena, Auntie will take the money first" said Mamah Austin as he went to his room.
"So you know my mother?" ask Austin, then Elena just nodded.
Elena is confused because she knows that Aunt Ira has no children, but it turns out that Aunt Ira's son is Austin.
"Let's sit down first" orders Austin.
"No, I'm here for a minute anyway."
Before long, Mamah Austin came and he immediately gave money to Elena.
"Thank you, Aunt."
"Yes are the same."
After that, Elena said goodbye to Austin and Aunt Ira.
...****************...
Arriving home, Elena immediately sat down and relaxed in the living room.
"Thank you for helping Mama" said Mamah as she put orange juice on the table.
"Yes together, Mah," said Elena, then he drank the juice because he was very thirsty.
"Well, the boy who went home at the time, that's Aunt Ira's son."
"The son of her new husband. Ira has no children" explained Mamah.
Elena fell silent, she thought whether the dream was true?
Because, in his dream, Austin was having problems and Elena knew that it must be a family problem. And the fact is, Austin is not Aunt Ira's son and it could be that he was sad before because his parents separated.
Trinzine! Trinzine!
Elena picked up her phone which she put in her pants pocket. He was a little surprised because it turned out that the person who called him was the person he was talking about.
Then, Elena hurriedly answered the phone call.
"What's wrong?"
"The task that was done last Sunday?" ask Austin, when there really is no duty.
Elena rushed towards her room to ascertain whether there was any PR or not.
"Which task is it?" confused Elena.
"It wasn't last night that you were talking about Manda and Reza's errands."
Related to that, actually, Elena just wanted to talk to divert the conversation. So, now Elena doesn't know what to say to Austin, because if she says there's no duty, she'll call Elena a liar.
"Not yet."
"If you may know, what are the subjects?"
Elena fell silent, she thought whether last Sunday there was a task or not. And after a long time of thinking, it turned out that there was no task at all.
"Knowledge is lying" Austin said.
"Sorry."
"By the way you are, Reza and Manda, last night we talked about me?" ask Austin, and then Elena says nothing of Austin.
"Speak about what?" ask Austin again.
Elena explains that Reza and Manda accuse Austin of liking Elena.
"Geez, I told Reza that I'm the same you're just friends."
"From now on we don't have to be close anymore, yes, because I'm a bit uncomfortable if constantly accused of the same people," said Elena, when in fact she wanted to stay away so that her feelings disappear.
"So you're uncomfortable? if so, we don't have to get close."
Hearing Austin's words, Elena was disappointed. He thought Austin was going to find a way to prevent Elena from moving away, but it turned out that Austin agreed with Elena's words.
"Well, I'll hang up" said Austin, then he turned off the phone.
Elena kept thinking about Austin, she was afraid that Austin was hurting because Elena told him to stay away from Elena. If you call her back and tell her that actually Elena does not want to stay away from her later that there is Austin getting upset because Elena is very wishful.
Forcibly, Elena had to follow the previous saying that she wanted to get away from Austin.
But on the other hand, Elena felt she did not know herself, because Austin was so kind to her. As for Elena, he instead told Austin not to get close to Elena.
...****************...
The Austin POV
Somehow I felt sad when Elena said that she would stay away from me because she was uncomfortable when people accused her of dating me.
Is that as bad as me? to the point that he doesn't want to get close to me.
Instead of being sad like this, Austin finally prefers to go to my friend's house. Because Reza's house is not far from my house, so I just walk to go there.
5 minutes later, Austin has arrived at Reza's house. He immediately pressed the doorbell and Reza soon opened the fence.
"What's wrong?" ask Reza.
"I want to play, because I'm bored at home."
Reza allowed Austin to enter the house.
When entering the house, Austin went straight to Reza's room because he was used to playing at Reza's house.
"Rez, because of you, Elena, so tell me to keep her away."
"But I'm guilty" surprised Reza.
"So she's worried because you're accusing me and she's in a relationship."
"So you're sad because he's staying away from you?"
Austin is silent, if he tells the truth later Reza will definitely accuse Austin of liking Elena.
"So sad for the story" recalls Reza.
"No, it's ordinary."
"Btw, you lately why is he so close to her?"
"I feel sorry for him. Especially after the suicide, so I was worried if he did it again."
Reza looked at Austin, suspecting that what Austin felt was not pity, but love.
"Why the hell?" confused Austin when stared at Reza.
"I've heard it said that sincere love begins with pity."
"What hell! it's really nice to say."
"It's serious!"
Austin does not believe Reza's words, because what he says is very untrue and it is impossible for Austin to like Elena just because he feels sorry for Elena.
